OK.. I have made some progress... I found deleting the log.0000xx file
started the server up without any errors.  After so much time in finding out
that was the issue was sad but very glad I have been able to get that part
up.. but wait there is more.

When I was trying to figure out and fix the error I did something which
moved many of my user and system mail directores from the a-z directories
into sub a-z directories and split up the users mail directory to be all
over the place now.  (Debian)

On top of that, when I use...  $ cyradm -user cyrus localhost and use lm I
only get about 5 directories and all the rest are missing from list
mailboxes.

I hope this makes sens.  I have been grilling away on here and I am very
tired as well.

Is this a new feature in cyrus 2.2?
